just guessing here but maybe some of them had money tied up in FTP and now are rolled to try higher stakes. I think I remember reading that Kanu7 had over 800K on FTP. I know he isnt one of the players your talking about but it gives you an idea of the kind of bankroll additions that some of the highstakes players may have since getting their money back. Again im only guessing
